Review by Horn Book Review

From knocking stuff down to clearing the ground and scooping the dirt, this book gives beginning readers a brief glimpse at trucks on a construction site. The presentation is random and fairly superficial, but the text is accessible and printed in an easy-to-read font. Lots of large labeled photographs will draw in young builders. A short picture glossary defines words printed in bold. Reading list. Ind. (c) Copyright 2014. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
